Before beginning the subject ELearning Experiences, I had a definitition in my head of what I thought it was all about. During the first class of this subject, I was asked to write this definition down. This is what I had….

                     A form of learning that is conducted using a variety of technological means including on line tools, activities and courses,
                            self-study modules allowing self-directed learning, pre-course and post-course online assessments and virtual classrooms. 
                            eLearning is generally highly interactive and self-paced and is a widely used tool in organizations. 

 I guess my definition was based on the previous experiences I had had with eLearning. These experiences consisted of experiences at school, uni and work. At uni, the only experiences I have had with eLearning have been tools to aid and enhance learning, such as the use of Blackboard, or UTS Online, online tests and virtual classroom discussions. At work however, I have seen the implementation of various eLearning modules, reactions and feedback as to how they were received and their ultimate success. So from both an elearner and someone who has witnessed others learning, I am looking forward to learning more about it and hopefully improving on my initial definititon!

Hi everyone!

My name is Taryn and I am currently in my second year studying a Bachelor of Arts in Organisational Learning at UTS. I am studying full time this semester and also working full time in Learning and Development at KPMG. I am really enjoying the content of this degree, as I can relate a lot of what I learn at uni to real situations and experiences in the workplace. After completing eLearning Experiences last year I’m looking forward to furthering my knowledge and understanding with eLearning Design. Hopefully I can take away some useful information from this subject, both educationally and professionally.
